As a teacher, one must constantly improve oneself. Only with stronger abilities can one achieve a better future.
1、 Teaching Professional Ability: The Foundation of Foundation
This is the core competitiveness of teachers, directly related to teaching effectiveness and reputation.
Create a course plan based on students' age: Don't think that training institutions' courses are just based on the outline given by the campus. Be sure to design the courses according to the age characteristics of your own students.
Refined lesson preparation: not only preparing knowledge, but also preparing students, methods, and stages. Design attractive classroom introductions, clear knowledge explanations, efficient interactive sessions, and targeted classroom exercises.
Develop distinctive courses: Systematize and visualize scattered knowledge points (such as creating mind maps and knowledge cards), form their own unique teaching materials and systems, and increase irreplaceability.
Enhance expression and deductive abilities: Simplify complex knowledge and visualize abstract concepts using vivid, clear, and infectious language. You can practice by looking in the mirror or recording videos to observe your speaking speed, facial expressions, and body language.
Mastering diverse interactive skills: avoiding a one size fits all approach. Proficient in using methods such as questioning, group discussions, answering questions, and gamified teaching (such as points and challenges) to motivate all students, especially those who are silent.
Efficient management of classroom time: Strictly plan the time for each stage, achieve flexible scheduling, and ensure the smooth completion of teaching tasks.
Make good use of teaching tools and technology: Establish exclusive course plans through the Artstep educational system, send course schedules to parents, and allow them to check class hours in a timely manner.
2、 Enhance communication and service capabilities
Teachers in training institutions are also service providers, and good relationships with students and parents are key to renewal rates and reputation.
Being both a teacher and a friend: Maintain authority in the classroom, communicate warmly outside of class, understand their interests, learning difficulties, and pressures, and provide timely encouragement and care. (Note that students are not your true friends, so don't get too close to them)
Personalized attention: Remember students' names, characteristics, and learning progress. A small greeting or affirmation of a student's small progress can greatly enhance their sense of belonging and learning motivation.
Proactive and professional: Regularly (such as monthly) proactively provide feedback to parents on students' learning progress, including not only grades, but also classroom performance, progress, existing problems, and your professional suggestions.
Communication skills: Learn to "report both good news and bad news", but when "reporting bad news", pay attention to the way and method, first affirm the advantages, then point out the problems, and provide specific and actionable solutions, making parents feel that you are an ally rather than complaining.
Make good use of communication tools: In addition to telephone and satellite, the educational system can also be used to display children's classroom changes to parents through the Yibu educational system, allowing parents to receive timely notifications of classes, cancellations, and other updates
